Richard, So what you're saying is that Z20S pistons and rods bolted to an L20B crank will give a better rod stroke ratio than te L20B gear. Then you can go futher by using the Z20E gear. Does the Z20S pistons have the thinner 1mm? rings, like the Z20E's are meant to have? Regards Trev

Eddie will be able to use the L20b pistons if he uses L20b conrods. He wouldn't be able to use the longer Z20S rods and L20b pistons unless he REDUCED the Z20 crankshaft stroke. -----Original Message----- From: mark krawczuk [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, 3 December 2001 11:40 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Z series stuff again hi, they will work , but it depends on what crank, rod etc, combonation u are using. in my l20 with z24 crank, i am using 1 mm oversize Z20 pistons. the gudgeon pin to crown height is closer than a l20b piston. i am using the z20 pistons due to the extra stroke of the crank. if u use the z20 and put in the l20 pistons , they will stick out the block. like i said depends on what conrod , crank combo u end up using. mark k .----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, December 03, 2001 9:51 AM Subject: Re: Z series stuff again Will pistons intended for an L20B work in a Z20S? I'm converting a Z20S into an L series and have been offered some high comp cosworth pistons but they are for an L20B. I was under the impression that Z20S motors have longer rods...is that true?
